Graceland

Gary Stewart Presents Graceland: A 40th Anniversary Celebration.

Scottish singer/songwriter Gary Stewart and his versatile six-piece band have been delighting audiences far and wide with their faithful rendition of Paul Simon’s classic album ‘Graceland’. Originally formed in 2015 for a performance at Underneath The Stars Festival, Gary and his band have steadily been performing shows at venues and festivals across the UK and beyond (including a sell-out performance at York Barbican in December 2024) for almost a decade.

2026 marks the 40th Anniversary of Graceland and the York-based troubadour and fellow musicians are gearing up for a busy year commemorating the anniversary, delighting audiences old and new with the beloved South African rhythms, melodies and harmonies that made this album a universal classic.

“Gary Stewart and his band masterfully recreated not just the sound of Paul Simon’s Graceland album but also the energy and soul that makes the original recording such a huge joy to listen to. An ambitious and wonderful feat to achieve in a live performance.” – Underneath The Stars Festival.
